To welcome the summer solstice and the end of the second quarter of 2021, IñigoArt looks at art market data and specifically at the consequences of the industry’s shift to digital. After nearly 18 months of a near total cancellation of art fairs and a forced pause on the market, there seems to be a feeling of déjà vu as restrictions are lifted. Everything, yet nothing, has changed.
Dear Friends,
With the end of the most unpredictable year in sight, I wanted to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Christmas and send every best wish for a happy and healthy start to 2021, when I truly hope we will be able to see each other again in person.
This is the first edition of a quarterly newsletter. The focus will be on the state of the art market, artists to keep an eye on and what is to come. This is my analysis and unbiased advice. I err on the side of supporting and working directly with artists and galleries because the primary market is the core of the sector. Nonetheless, insight into the overall arts ecosystem is only complete if we consider the secondary market and the not-for-profit as well.
…because all art leaves an imprint and after a 4-year journey, InigoArt is starting to see the mark we have made. An immense Thank You to all of you, collectors, art enthusiasts, artists and galleries, who have supported InigoArt in so many ways this year. You give me purpose. 2019 has been a time to take stock and focus on existing projects.
If you are in London this August, don’t miss the brilliant opportunity to have a glimpse and buy the capital’s up-and-coming art. The London Open at Whitechapel Gallery takes place every three years so don’t miss it people! Works are for sale. What’s stopping you??
I intended to write early on in the year about three artists whose work I’m looking forward to seeing more of and here it is, on the last day of January…
